A Pelican and a Gladioli

I have a friend who is always calling people he thinks are in his way or acting like morons "pelican" . So I told him I would have to paint him a picture of a pelican. Don't know why I just did. I found a Photo on the web and painted it .






















The painting of the "Gladioli" is from a book on Sumi painting and I liked the subject . It is so simple and pretty. My painting lacks life I think.
